Great thread about Farage’s German immigrant roots. The man is a blatant hypocrite.
ottoenglish.bsky.social Otto English @ottoenglish.bsky.social · Sep 22
In the late 19th century, millions of migrants left Germany as a result of religious persecution, economic hardship, and political uncertainty.

Among them was Nikolaus Schrod, a cabinet maker from Frankfurt who - along with his wife Bina - moved to London to start a new life in the 1850s. 1/3

This is why we need to be talking about Capitalism.
Capitalism itself—industrial capitalism at least—has had a very brief historical run. During a mere 200 years, it has nonetheless shown a remarkable ability to come up with threats to the very existence of the species: first nuclear destruction, now global climate change. . There are good reasons to believe it is simply not a viable long-term system: most obviously, because it is premised on the need for continual growth, and economic growth cannot continue forever on a planet with finite resources. . Capitalism that was not based on the need to continually expand production would simply not be capitalism; its fundamental dynamics would change; it'd become something else. Whatever economic system predominates in 50 years, it is very likely to be something other than capitalism. Of course, that something might be even worse. This is why it seems this is precisely the wrong time to give up on imagining alternatives to capitalism: that is, to come up with ideas for what might actually be better. - David Graeber

For the journalists asking us to “engage” with conservatives, for our own good, here’s David Graeber engaging with Peter Thiel.
The interesting thing about it is, Graeber understands Thiel perfectly. Thiel does not have a single clue what Graeber’s platform is.

After the financial crash in 2008,. David Graeber made some rather interesting comments about the so-called financial sector of the economy.

His words are still very relevant today in 2024.

Have a read for yourself.
The spotlight on the financial sector did make apparent just how bizarrely skewed our economy is in terms of who gets rewarded and for what. There was this pall of mystification cast over everything pertaining to that sector, we were told, this is all so very complicated, you couldn’t possibly understand, We just had to take their word that, somehow, this was creating value in ways our simple little heads couldn’t possibly get around. Then after the crash we realized a lot of this stuff was not just scams, but pretty simple-minded scams, like taking bets you couldn’t possibly pay if you lost and just figuring the Gov't would bail you out if you did. These guys weren’t creating value of any kind. They were making the world worse and getting paid insane amounts of money for it." . Suddenly it became possible to see that if there’s a rule, it’s that the more obviously your work benefits others, the less you’re paid for it. CEOs and financial consultants that are actually making other people’s lives worse were paid millions, useless paper-pushers got handsomely compensated, people fulfilling obviously useful functions like taking care of the sick or teaching kids, repairing broken heating systems or picking vegetables were the least rewarded. . - David Graeber
